Дурьодхана
उदीच्याः कृतवर्मा च पुरुमित्रः श्रुतार्पणः ॥
दुःशासनो निकुम्भश् च कुण्डभेदी उरुक्रमः ॥
पुरंजयो दृढरथः पताकी हेमपङ्कजः ॥
शल्यारुणीन्द्रसेनाश् च संजयो विजयो जयः ॥
कमलाक्षः पुरुः क्राथी जयवर्मा सुदर्शनः ॥
एते त्वाम् अनुयास्यन्ति पत्तीनाम् अयुतानि षट् ॥
जहि भीमं यमौ चोभौ धर्मराजं च मातुल ॥
असुरान् इव देवेन्द्रो जयाशा मे त्वयि स्थिता ॥
दारितान् द्रौणिना बाणैर् भृशं विक्षतविग्रहान् ॥
जहि मातुल कौन्तेयान् असुरान् इव पावकिः ॥
udīcyāḥ kṛtavarmā ca purumitraḥ śrutārpaṇaḥ ||
duḥśāsano nikumbhaś ca kuṇḍabhedī urukramaḥ ||
puraṃjayo dṛḍharathaḥ patākī hemapaṅkajaḥ ||
śalyāruṇīndrasenāś ca saṃjayo vijayo jayaḥ ||
kamalākṣaḥ puruḥ krāthī jayavarmā sudarśanaḥ ||
ete tvām anuyāsyanti pattīnām ayutāni ṣaṭ ||
jahi bhīmaṃ yamau cobhau dharmarājaṃ ca mātula ||
asurān iva devendro jayāśā me tvayi sthitā ||
dāritān drauṇinā bāṇair bhṛśaṃ vikṣatavigrahān ||
jahi mātula kaunteyān asurān iva pāvakiḥ ||
'...the northerners and Kritavarman, Purumitra, Shrutarpana, Duhshasana and Nikumbha, Kundabhedi, Urukrama — these will follow you, sixty thousand foot soldiers. Kill Bhima and both twins, and King Dharma, O uncle, as the king of the gods slays the asuras; my hope for victory rests in you. Those torn by Drauni's arrows, their bodies cruelly mangled — kill them, uncle, the sons of Kunti, as the son of Fire slays the asuras.'

Duryodhana places his hope in Shakuni — the very instigator of the whole feud through gambling — and sends him now against those he once deceived. It is telling that the treacherous gambler is dispatched as a commander: falsehood entrusts its cause to falsehood. The verse teaches that hope placed in a sower of discord stands on unstable ground; and one who sends a deceiver to finish off the deceived only closes a circle that dishonest play first opened.
